VirtualBox via Fedora 16

[MindoverMaster]

Hey, I'm running Fedora 16 on my spare computer, and when trying to virtually start Windows 7 VM in VirtualBox, I get these errors:

I scoured the net on this error. I only found old or garbled text that has nothing to do with my version of VB. I'm using the latest version, 4.1.12.

Any help here?

On the side, I did get QEMU to work, to a point. After I get past the Windows splash screen, it brings up an error, and just loops until I force shut it down. So I think it needs some sort of driver.

Also tried XEN (with virtual machine manager), and got a little further. After I click the install buton, it just hangs on "starting windows" and the circle mouse pointer goes around and around...

Edit: I do have Intel VT enabled.

Did you follow the instructions on the error message?

The /ect/init.d/vboxdrv setup bit? Yea, several times. I found that DKMS wasn't installed, but after that, it still didn't work.

What exactly happened when you tried it? Did it run through cleanly or were there errors?

It doesn't even turn on the vm. This is before it even starts.

Never seen that before, but now that you have the DKMS, did you try to reinstall your VirtualBox?

 

[MindoverMaster]

Yeah, just did that and did that stuff in terminal again, no dice. I never remember this being so complicated... Guess it's Fedora.

Update: Never mind, I'm on OpenSUSE 12.1 now, and using XEN, which is integrated into the system. Thanks for all the "help"!
